The next day, the Chen family started to be busy early in the morning, and their second uncle and second aunt also came to help early.

The well-driving team has been busy for more than a month, and this time it took the opportunity to take a break for two days. The salary of last month has been settled with everyone. Each person earns more than 1,000 yuan a month, which is not much different from what I earn from working in the south. The key is that it is still close to home and can take care of the family. If you encounter any urgent matters, you can take a leave, which is very convenient.

It is very attractive to earn more than 1,000 yuan a month in rural areas. Chen Weiguo used to work in a brick factory, and only 600 yuan a month. His work is not easy to part with, and he is exhausted all day long. In comparison, the well-driving team is much more comfortable and has better living standards. He is treated as a master who goes to any family and is sufficient to tobacco and alcohol.

The Chen family's well-draining team just paid their salary, and the next day someone came to ask if there was still a shortage of people, which made Tao Xiuying feel confused and was a little worried that it was too silly.

Chen Qiaoshan didn't care much about it, just looking for a job, and there was nothing to make a fuss. He casually advised Chen Ma a few words. After thinking about it, he told Chen Ma not to keep the money at home and to open an account in the town to save it. Chen Ma glared at him and threw a sentence: "You can teach me after the horse!" Chen Qiaoshan was so embarrassed.

...

Master Zhao came over before dawn and brought another group of guys. A few new stoves were neatly built in a corner of the yard, and a few big pots were built on it. It was much larger than the iron pots used by Chen's family. The shovels were made of small shovels. Who would have thought of this cooking thing if anyone didn't know saw it?

Master Zhao's three little apprentices also came early in the morning. The few of them were all busy with their own things, obviously they were accustomed to all kinds of messy things, many of them, so they didn't seem to be panic at all.

Chen Qiaoshan was still sleeping and was pulled up by Tao Xiuying, "Get up quickly and clean up yourself!"

Chen Qiaoshan was unhappy. He slept late last night and was so sleepy that he didn't want to move at all. After thinking about it over and over again, he finally made a wise decision to get up and not provoke Chen's mother.

Getting up early is a trivial matter, and this whole day has caused Chen Qiaoshan tossing.

The Chen surname is a big family in Qianwang Village. The Chen surname is basically a relative in the village. Even if it is not a real relative, he is a family member. He will definitely be able to get married after one generation or two generations.

Chen Weiguo has turned over now, and everyone is not blind. The wages started in front of the well-driving team, and half of the village behind him knows it. The villagers sighed that the Chen family is going to pay! In addition, Chen Lao Er is promising, and there are no simple daughters. Seeing that the Chen family's life is getting more and more prosperous, the Chen family is drinking, and the families nearby are all here.

Many neighbors who are not related to relatives have also come. It’s not because of their power. The countryside is different from the city. The people in the city may have lived in a building for several years, and even no one knows the name of the neighbor. It’s not like this in the countryside. Distant relatives are worse than close neighbors. Although neighbors do not have relatives, they also have human relationships.

Chen Qiaoshan was not idle this day, and he welcomed and sent him, served tea, water, cigarettes and toasted him. He had to do all these tasks, and he had to be humble from time to time. He was humble when others praised him, otherwise he would gossip and say he didn't know the world.

Chen Qiaoshan met Chen's mother's family, and his grandparents were all here. Both of them looked healthy and strong, and they should be much younger than Mr. Chen.

The two always came with Chen Weiguo's two aunts, and were personally received by Mr. Chen and his wife, but Chen Qiaoshan's affairs were indispensable. The old lady held her grandson's hand and looked at her for a long time, praising her for a promising future.

I have to set up wine in the city and have a meal in the restaurant. It’s not like this in the countryside. I have to set up tables at noon and at night, and a few tables the next morning.

The Chen family was noisy all day, and it was not until late at night that the Chen family was loose.

Chen Qiaoshan was so tired that his back was sore, and Chen’s father and mother were not much better. However, Chen Wan and Xiaowu were still full of energy. They didn’t give a job during the day. They were all playing with relatives’ children, and they were delicious and had a great time.

Grandpa and grandma didn't leave today, and their family came from afar, so naturally they had to stay for a few more days. The old couple and their two aunts were resting at the Chen family. Chen Qiaoshan and Chen's father went to their uncle's house for a night.

The father and son settled the house and got up to rest at their uncle's house. Although it was already midnight, the moon was still the boss, and even the fields in the distance could be seen clearly.

"Dad, it's time for me to go to school in a few days!"

"Um!"

Chen Qiaoshan was a little depressed. What does this mean?

"I mean I'll go to Yanjing in a few days!"

"Um!"

Chen Qiaoshan was speechless. Chen Weiguo obviously understood what he meant.

If he doesn't want to talk about this topic, he can just do it perfunctorily. What's the matter with this answer? It's too strange for him, but Chen's father doesn't want to say it, and Chen Qiaoshan doesn't want to ask anything else.

Not far from the Chen family to the uncle's house, the father and son walked one after another, falling into an inexplicable silence. Halfway through, Chen Weiguo took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a lighter and lit one.

Chen Weiguo doesn't drink much and occasionally smokes a few cigarettes. Since his family bought a well driller, whether he went out to pick up work or led a team to dig wells, he had to hand in cigarettes first whenever he went there. He smoked cigarettes frequently after a while.

When he was about to reach the gate of the second uncle's house, Chen Weiguo suddenly spoke: "Your elder sister is Zhang Yiyi!"

Chen Qiaoshan was distracted. Chen Weiguo suddenly said, his mind was a little confused. He thought about it carefully before he could react.

"Zhang Yiyi?"

"Iraq, one, two, three, four"

Chen Qiaoshan was a little amused and embarrassed. Zhang Yiyi, a girl who was originally quite elegant, made Chen Dad beat him like this, and it was like missiles and artillery fire flying together. But it was not surprising to think about it. It was a bit difficult for him to find a better word with the ink in Dad's belly.

Chen Qiaoshan suddenly realized that this was wrong. Does Chen Weiguo have any contact with the Zhang family? Otherwise, how could he know the name of his eldest daughter? What's wrong with the surname Zhang? Thinking of this, he couldn't control his gossip. It seems that Chen Weiguo is also a person with a story, far from what he looks like on the surface.

Chen Qiaoshan was still preparing to inquire about the situation again, but he had already arrived at the door of his uncle's house. When the old lady Chen heard the movement, she came out. He had to suppress his curiosity and look for an opportunity to talk about it.

The next morning, the Chen family prepared several tables of tables, but this time there were fewer people, mostly neighbors nearby. At the end of the banquet, Chen's mother divided the remaining ingredients. There were still a lot of ingredients left for this school banquet, and each family gave a little more or less. This is the rural rule.

Grandpa and two aunts stayed for another day and left early on the third day.

Tao Xiuying was a little reluctant to leave. Her family was far away, so it was not easy to come here. In the past, the family was not well-off, and she never thought about picking up her two old people to live there for a while. Now her life is getting better, but her parents still come and go in a hurry, which made her a little sad. She sent her family away, and Chen's mother even cried.

Chen Qiaoshan was very moved. In the past, his family was so difficult, he never saw Chen's mother cry. Now that life is over, his son and daughter are all promising. She has become weaker. I think Chen's mother was not as strong as she looked on the surface.

It seems that Chen Weiguo and Tao Xiuying are both people with stories.

The wine presented by the Chen family was charged 5,000 yuan for favors, which was much beyond Chen's mother's expectations.

The rural areas of Henan Province are no different from other places. You can get 50 yuan for a meal at home. Those with better relationships pay 100 yuan, and those who are very close to you only get 200 yuan. There are really not many relatives in the Chen family, and most of the people who come from nearby neighbors and Chen family. It was estimated that two or three thousand yuan would be the best.

"My mother took three hundred, but I confiscated it and returned it. My sister-in-law and her brothers and sisters' family took five hundred, and those who built the country received five hundred. The gifts from the elder brother and the third brother were all sent by the old man..." Tao Xiuying looked through the small account book and was muttering.

"It's right for my second mother to not collect money. They don't have much income now. I heard that Chunshang is still picking tea in the tea garden."

...

Chen Weiguo and his wife were calculating favors. They should not be careless. They would have to pay back one by one in the future. The few young people couldn't get in touch and could only sit aside and listen.

"Sister, you will start school in a few days!" Xiaowu was next to Chen Wan and muttered in a low voice.

Chen Wan smiled and said, "What's wrong? What do you think?"

Xiao Wu glanced at the second brother not far away and said, "I saved another five dollars. It was given to me by my father and grandma. You can take it to my second sister..."

Chen Qiaoshan looked at his two sisters sneakily and muttered something on his back, and couldn't help but ask with a funny question: "What are you saying? I can't know?"

The two of them immediately shut up and stared at him like a thief, which made Chen Qiaoshan very depressed and could only walk away awkwardly, making it boring if they didn't go up.

...

In a blink of an eye, the day for high school to start, and it was Chen Wan's turn to go to the First High School to report.

This time the situation was quite big. This was the first time Chen Wan went out so far. Chen’s parents were worried and came over to help pack their luggage together.

"Take more clothes," Chen Ma ordered.

"Mom, I can't hold it in my bag anymore, I have to put something else on it." Chen Wan refused.

Chen's mother disagreed, "I'll find you a bag later."

"Can't get it!"

...

Women are sometimes very troublesome, no matter how big or small.

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't stand watching the side, "Mom, take a little less. The fourth brother is not coming back. He went home after holidays. If he took too much, he couldn't put down the school. He just wanted to take the mattress and the bed was thin. On such a hot day, when I went back to school, I would buy her a narrow mattress for her, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep at night."

Chen Qiaoshan is different from the past, and his words are very convincing. Chen's mother thought about it and agreed. She was older and she was quite reliable in doing business outside.

After packing up his things, Chen Qiaoshan tied his luggage to his second uncle's motorcycle and prepared to take Chen Wan to set off.

Tao Xiuying was very worried and asked, "Second, are you okay?"

Chen Qiaoshan was most afraid of listening to this, but he didn't dare to ignore Chen's mother's words, so he had to patiently say: "Don't worry, I can drive cars, let alone this little 70."

Tao Xiuying stared at him with a skeptical look, and Chen Wan and Chen Yue also had that expression. They obviously didn't believe him, and Chen Qiaoshan couldn't explain, "Fourth brother, come up, do you want me to send you with a bicycle?"

Chen Wan got on the motorcycle and hugged Chen Qiaoshan's waist as soon as she got on the bus, looking like she was afraid of being thrown off the car, which made him helpless, "Why are you so tight? Are you not hot?"

Chen Wan thought about it, so she let go of her hand and turned to hold the hem of Chen Qiaoshan's clothes tightly, like she was pulling a donkey.

Chen Qiaoshan had no choice but to let her unscrew the key and stomp the car, and started in a steady gear and drove out.

Chen's mother was relieved when she saw his skillful posture, but she still instructed: "Be careful on the way, send the fourth brother to school, and be sure to settle down..."

Chen Qiaoshan was a little speechless. It turned out that Chen's mother also had the potential to be talkative.

When he arrived in the town, Chen Qiaoshan parked his motorcycle in a small restaurant at the entrance of the station and greeted the restaurant owner. The security in the town is quite good these days, and it is unexpected that someone would steal a car in public.

Chen Qiaoshan took his sister to the shuttle bus. This was Chen Wan's first time going to the city. She looked a little excited and felt very fresh about everything around her.

Chen Qiaoshan looked at Chen Wan sitting next to her and felt a little uneasy. The family has settled down now, and the sisters have a relatively relaxed environment. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but explain: "You must study hard at school and focus on your studies. If you have any questions, you can find the third child or call your home. When I go back to Yanjing, I will buy a mobile phone. If you have any questions, you can find me..."

Chen Qiaoshan said a long time, and Chen Wan listened carefully. It was not until the end that she said, "Brother, why did you become a mother-in-law?"

Chen Qiaoshan was stunned. He thought of Chen's mother's instructions when he went out. He thought she was nagging at the time, but he didn't expect that he would also nag him now. It was a bit funny to think about it.

"How do you talk? I am your brother. What's wrong with telling you a few words?"

Chen Wan pursed her lips and said nothing, but she obviously disagreed. Neither brother nor sister spoke anymore, and the atmosphere was a little silent for a moment.

Chen Qiaoshan was a little distracted. Perhaps this was the inseparable family affection.
